Method

Step 1

Preparation: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare all ingredients as indicated above.

Step 2

Courgettes: Trim the ends of the courgettes, then cut them in half lengthways. Lay the halves down flat and cut them in half lengthways again to create quarters. Then cut the courgette quarters crossways into 2cm pieces.

Step 3

Roast veg: Place the courgettes and mushrooms on a tin foil lined baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes until golden.

Step 4

Panko mix: In a bowl, mix together the parsley, oregano, sage and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Manzo bake: Place a large frying pan on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and celery and cook with a little salt for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, mixed herbs, garlic and cayenne pepper (optional) and cook for 1 minute before adding the mince, breaking it up in the pan with a spoon. Cook, stirring the mince around, for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned and cooked. Season with salt and pepper, then add the tomatoes. Cook for 7 minutes until the tomatoes soften. Once the roast veggies are done, remove them from the oven, add them to the pan and mix through. Tip the mixture into an oven dish and top with the panko mix and a drizzle of olive oil. Place it in the oven and cook for 15 minutes until the panko breadcrumbs are toasted and golden.
